This HANDS-ON class will cover the fundamental use of various stamping tools, as well as the swivel knife, to achieve the look you want on leather. Learn how to properly stamp elements like acanthus, swirls, flowers, leaves and stems as well as carve borders and make finish cuts. These elements are used to make up most stamping designs. “Casing” of leather will be covered as well as maintaining “temper” while stamping. Keith will teach students how to interpret tooling designs and how to choose the right tool for the desired look. Leather scrap will be provided for practice, and students will make leather drink coasters to take home.
